Just over a year in the making and LA based designer’s bonVIVANT Interiors and CKD have officially launched our wallpaper capsule collection. The collection is printed on our beautiful luxe linen wallpaper. All four prints are inspired by the aesthetic of bonVIVANT Interior founder’s Dana and Rachel mixed with CKD’s signature hand painted style, play with scale and fun layouts. Every single one of these prints have my heart. Nothing like LA vibes to begin the summer of what feels like real freedom. We hope you enjoy the collection, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or the team. xx C

oh MAN, it’s been a lot of a lot lately. One of my personal journeys over the past two years has been moving closer to my truth, only operating from a space that is authentic to me. I have learned a lot about myself by shining a light on my shadows, insecurities, and shortcomings. It’s been difficult at times but God has gifted me with incredible people who have not only been there, but listened without judgement. The journey never ends, I am constantly finding out more things about myself and in return accepting myself for all the wrongs that are actually so right, and all of the insecurities that are actually so beautiful.
“You can’t be what you can’t see” -Marian Wright Edelman , the clearer you see and trust yourself the more grounded you become. The work I have done on myself has trickled into how I run my business, how I would like to run my team in the future, and how I see the woman I want to be. Life is feeling sweeter, and I am thankful everyday for the best friends & family I have around me. Thankful for the opportunities presenting themselves, and for the clients who believe in CKD

Jenne and Harvey wanted a bespoke print for their bedroom that was inspired by Hermes and Cartier. The print is a mix of hand sketch and hand painted. I love the oversized look and the super dark ground. This print is available on our shop!

Quality is at the core of each product that CKD produces. Here is a photo of samples produced that never launched. 5 + years of trail and error, making sure each product is created to perfection.

What is divine feminine power? What does it feel like, and when I find it how do I use it? A couple questions I have been asking myself lately. I can see and feel the masculine energy within me. I see him when I’m working, when I’m networking, and pushing within my business. The masculine energy within me is external, active and forceful energy. All the things we are taught to be within the workforce or to get what you want in life. You must be fearless and take chances. Energies I know are necessary, but are they all the time? Lately life has been teaching me otherwise. There needs be a balance. I am learning to activate my divine feminine. Feminine energy is a quiet power. It is purposeful, a healing power that is in the present moment. It’s a deep knowing and moves us into a state of love and compassion, and creates space for other energies. Feminine energy is the source to healing. It is where we meet our whole self. The ego wants to distract us with desires, demands and worries. Sitting with our feminine energy is sitting with ourself at the purest form. Here we know the answers, or are able to move through difficult times with grace. It is presence and power combined in one. Sounds beautiful doesn’t it? I’ve been sitting with myself and this a lot lately, and the present moment has started to become a constant, and life is feeling just a little bit sweater. Operating through life is both feminine and masculine, it’s mastering the balance of the two that brings pure joy. Anyways, here are a couple photos of lately. I’m really really loving this Florida lifestyle. What a special place to be. Truly thankful for this opportunity. x C

It’s been a while since I’ve been alone for a long period of time. The last time I was in this position I just moved to New York. I’m finally feeling at home here. I am really enjoying the solitude and space to move freely, open to every opportunity that comes my way. It’s remarkable the things you can learn about yourself when you sit still and allow yourself to just be with yourself. So much came to the surface for me that surprised me. Instead of pushing the feelings aside, I sat with them… and talked to myself a lot lol. But I figured it out, on my own. And the process has been really nice. I’ve sat at dinner alone a lot. Finding low key beach bars and listening to music with the smell of the ocean.
I joined Anatomy gym in Miami, and invested in a personal trainer. I always wanted to learn how to properly weight train and I am really loving it. The new projects are going well and I met some really great new people! I’m feeling hopeful for whats to come. What is to come is completely different than I ever could have imagined, but that’s how it goes right. K, got to go, chat soon. x C

Hello from Florida :) I’ve relocated for a bit to take care of some projects happening here. Planta West Palm Beach has opened! I love the way the new wallpaper turned out! I worked very closely with iCrave and Steven with this print. We wanted to evolve past the banana leaves into something that was sexy, fun, light and fresh. The space really does look beautiful. Kayla is here! We have some fun projects we are working on, excited to get those moving. Anyways, just wanted to stop by and say hi! xx C
